West End 1st London meets on Thursday evenings from 7.30pm, running for an hour and a half at the Advent Centre on Brendon St, just off Crawford Place near Marble Arch. It is an open meeting, welcoming anyone along regardless of whether they have a desire to stop drinking themselves, so friends, family and professionals are equally free to attend. The longer format gives more room for a fuller range of shares than a standard hour-long meeting allows. Brendon St sits within easy reach of Edgware Road and Paddington, making the venue straightforward to reach from several parts of central London. The Advent Centre is used by a number of AA meetings across the week.
